Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to means for controlling the bounce or rebound motion of an armature and finds use in performance fuel injectors.
- a solenoid valve comprises an armature movable between first and second positions. The extremes of these first and second positions are often defined by mechanical stops. Armatures, as is known in the art, are moved in one direction by an electro-magnetic force generated by a coil of wire and often moved in the opposite direction by a return spring. When the armature impacts a stop it bounces. Bounce or rebound is detrimental especially if the solenoid is to be used as a positioning device because desired position cannot be maintained, or if the solenoid is incorporated within a fuel injector wherein when the armature moves toward or away from a valve seat due to bounce or rebound more or less fuel, as the case may be, will be ejected from the fuel injector.
- the bounce of an armature affects the operation of a fuel injector by: prolonging or shortening the duration of injection, causing non-linearality in calibration, excessive wear about the valve seat area, poor and variable atomization of the ejected fuel, a lack of repeatability in the operation of the injector over its useful life and a cycle-to-cycle variation in the performance of the injector.
- the document US-A-3 334 679 discloses an electro-mechanical fuel injector comrising an armature movable relative to a valve seat for opening and closing an metering orifice.
- the head of the armature carries a disc which in turn carries an annular disc.
- the discs operate to dampening only the rebound of the armature when the armature approaches the stop.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide means for damping the motion of an armature to lessen and/or totally eliminate bounce.
- a further object of the invention is to eliminate bounce through the use of an energy absorbing device.
- a further object of the invention is to dampen armature motion by generating a viscous shear force.
- the invention comprises a mechanism for damping the motion of an armature and may be incorporated within an electromechanical fuel injector comprising: a housing and a valve seat including a valve seating surface and a metering orifice disposed at a lower end of the housing.
- An armature assembly is movable relative to the valve seating surface for opening and closing the metering orifice, and includes an armature and a pin extending therefrom and adapted to engage the seating surface.
- the fuel injector additionally includes means for moving the armature assembly comprising: a coil assembly comprising a coil and a stator magnetically coupled therewith, and when activated operative to move the armature assembly in a direction to open the metering orifice; and bias means for urging the armature assembly in a direction to close the metering orifice.
- a fluid chamber defined upstream of the metering orifice, surrounding a portion of the armature assembly; and means, are additionally provided, movable with the armature assembly within the fluid chamber, for generating a viscous force to damp the motion of the pin by dissipating energy from a collision of said armature means with the seating surface.
- FIGURE 1 diagrammatically illustrates a fuel injector incorporating the present invention.
- FIGURE 2 is a cross-sectional view taken through 2-2 of FIGURE 1.
- FIGURE 3 illustrates an alternate embodiment of the invention.
- FIGURE 1 illustrates an electromagnetic fuel injector 10 comprising a housing 12 and a valve seat 14 disposed at a lower end 20 of the housing 12.
- the valve seat may be formed as an insert received into the housing 12 or integral therewith.
- the valve seat 14 defines a metering orifice 18.
- the seating surface 16 of the valve seat 14 is substantially conically shaped.
- the fuel injector includes an armature assembly 30 movable in relation to the valve seating surface 16 for opening and closing the metering orifice 18.
- the armature assembly 30 further includes an armature 32 and a narrow pin 34 extending therefrom and adapted to engage the seating surface 16 proximate the metering orifice.
- the engagement end 36 of the pin 34 is spherically shaped.
- the fuel injector 10 further includes means for moving the armature assembly 30 comprising a coil assembly 40 including a coil 42 and a stator 44 magnetically coupled therewith.
- Means are provided to receive fuel into a fuel chamber 50, formed in the housing 12, which may include a bottom feed inlet 47 or other arrangement as known in the art.
- the above mentioned armature assembly 30 may further include a spring 46 for urging the armature 32 and pin 34 in a direction to close the metering orifice.
- the pin 34 and armature 32 may be received within the fluid chamber 50 upstream of the metering orifice 18.
- a damping assembly 60 including a cup-shaped element 62 is movable with the armature assembly and spaced from the walls 64 of the fluid chamber 50 to generate a viscous force therebetween.
- the cup-shaped element 62 further includes a central opening 65 into which the pin is received.
- the cup-shaped element 62 comprises an annular structure having a base 70 which includes the first opening 65.
- a circumferential edge 74 extends axially from the base 70 and is spaced from the walls a distance, T, sufficient to develop a shearing action of the fluid therebetween. It is preferable that the length of the circumferential edge 74 be at least .25 of the diameter of the element 62. In this manner, sufficient damping is achieved and additionally the cup 62 will be prevented from assuming a significant angular orientation relative to the axis of the fuel injector. It is preferable that the spacing, G, between the cup and the pin 34 is larger than the spacing, T.
- the bottom or base 70 may further include a plurality of openings 76.
- the openings 76 are sized such that as the cup moves axially they do not create a significant pressure drop thereacross. The primary function of the openings 76 is to permit fluid flow through the chamber 50.
- the base or bottom 70, proximate the opening 65, includes an enlarged inner wall 80 defining upper and lower annular surfaces 82 and 84 for receipt of springs 86 and 88. Spring 86 biases the element 60 against a lower portion of the armature 32.
- the second spring 88 biases the cup-shaped element against a securement or ledge 90 formed in the pin 34. It may be optionally desirable to utilize springs 86 and 88 of differing spring constants. As an example, the upper spring 86 may have a weaker spring constant than the lower spring 88. As an example, the spring constant of the lower spring 88 may be in the vicinity of 4-6 lbs/inch (700-1051 N/m) while the upper spring may have a spring constant of less than 1 lb/inch (175,1 N/m).
- the fuel injector is illustrated in is closed position in FIGURE 1.
- the armature 32 is drawn toward the stator 44 thereby raising the pin 34 off from the seating surface 16 to permit fuel flow out from the chamber 50 through the metering orifice 18.
- the spring 46 will urge the pin downwardly to seal the metering orifice 18.
- the cup-shaped element 62 will follow its motion. By virtue of the narrow spacing between its circumferential edge 74 and the walls 64 a frictional shear force will be developed at the boundary therebetween.
- the pin 34 will have a tendency to bounce.
- pin 34 The upward motion of pin 34 is communicated to the element 62 through the lower spring 88.
- the friction shear force generated between the cup 62 and wall 64 is communicated to the pin 34 through spring 88 which quickly dampens the motion of the pin preventing it from bouncing.
- FIGURE 3 illustrates an alternate damping assembly 60′.
- the assembly 60′ includes a circular member 100 extending radially from a hollow cylindrical member 102.
- the circular member 100 includes a plurality of openings 76 similar to those shown in FIGURES 1 and 2.
- the cylindrical member 102 includes a central bore 104 into which is received the pin 34 with an edge spacing of G.
- Axially extending from and circumferentially placed about the circular member 100 is an annular member 110. As illustrated the annular member 110 extends above and below the circular member 100 to increase the contact area with the wall 64.
- the various members 100, 102 and 110 are of integral construction.
- the annular member 110 is closely spaced, T, relative to the wall 64 to generate a viscous shear force by reacting with the fuel or fluid therebetween.
- the cylindrical member 102 is carried by the armature 32 and pin 34 and secured thereto by upper and lower O-rings 120 and 122 and a snap ring 90′. It is preferable, though nota requirement of the invention, that both O-rings be lightly compressively loaded. It is believed that an acceptable spring constant of the O-rings to be about 100 1b/in (17513 N/m) for minute deflections. Typical of the O-rings used are AS-568-003/BN 70 manufactured by Parker Hannifan or Apple Rubber Products, Inc.
